A variation on the theme. I have this in some of my code:
if APP_PRODUCTION:
dt = local_import('datatables', reload=False)
else: # pragma: no cover
dt = local_import('datatables', reload=True)
APP_PRODUCTION is defined True or False at the head of my db.py. I use it for
this and to choose a log level, etc.
